Legends Showcase

By now many of you have heard about the Legends Showcase DLC being introduced in NBA 2K12. We certainly see some Good things (the variety of Cell-Shaded visuals) some OK things (2-on-2, 3-on-3 and HORSE) and some GREAT things (Classic Teams in a simulation setting, hopefully at an NBA arena)

While Times Square adds variety, it just doesn't add anything significant to the game for us, but we're sure there are some people who'll really appreciate the new setting. What we're really excited about are the new Legends that are apparently added to the game. Players like KJ, Bill Walton, Mikan, Bob Pettit, Rick Barry and others. Hopefully we'll get a full list of the addition to the Legends Roster very soon in addition to the options we'll have online if we want to play friends online in with Classic Teams. Hopefully we'll be able to take teams like the 87 Lakers and 85 Celtics and battle it out.
